devolo dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac

1Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this product.

devolo dLAN business solutions are a favourably pri-

ced option to establish a broadband IP network in a

building—using the power grid or according to the

dLAN pro product also coax lines or two-wire lines

Positioning anywhere in a building is possible due to

the flexibility of dLAN pro networking over an exist-

ing power line: even areas without a network con-

nection are perfectly integrated this way. dLAN can

be used as an easily scalable, primary network as

well as to supplement an existing infrastructure.

The advantage this brings is obvious: no new cables

have to be laid—expenditure and costs remain low.
